Thank you for visiting the Bluff Elementary School website. We are one of three elementary schools, which serve the Claremont community. Bluff Elementary serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and has a population of approximately 220 students. We have faculty and staff of approximately fifty people to include, teachers, special educators, paraprofessionals, a school counselor, an administrative assistant, custodians, speech, occupational, and physical therapy professionals, cafeteria workers, and school administration. Our faculty and staff work collaboratively to ensure every student at Bluff Elementary is provided with a 21st century education in a safe, clean, nurturing, and supported environment. As you explore our website, I hope you gain a genuine understanding of how the faculty and staff here at Bluff Elementary dedicate themselves to promote the love of learning in every child.
Bluff Elementary School is truly a school community. In addition to our dedicated faculty and staff, we receive a tremendous amount of support from our parents, community members, and community agencies. We have a very active school PTO that supports many of our school’s events. Our PTO has organized and facilitated Back-to-School Night, various Title 1 events, a Thanksgiving meal, school fundraisers, a 5K road race, and several activity nights for students. They have also financially supported several field trips, the school spelling bee, and our Beautification Day. In addition to the support we receive from our PTO, we have also receive support from local agencies, businesses, and foundations usually in the form of monetary donations or items for specific school functions. The list of these businesses, agencies, and foundations are too extensive to list here, but I cannot emphasize enough how appreciative our school is for their continued support.
As a parent, I know how difficult it can be to send your child to school. As parents, we all want the reassurance of knowing we are sending our child to a school where they will feel safe, where they will be cared for, and will be supported to learn in a manner that builds their confidence while fostering a curiosity that inspires them to want to continue to learn throughout their lives. That is what I wanted for my children when they were in elementary school and it is exactly what I want for every student that attends Bluff Elementary School. Our faculty and staff strive to make this vision a reality for every student here at Bluff Elementary School.
Sincerely,
Dale Chenette
Principal
